Spanish train songs are fun to add to a transportation theme, or a you can even do train theme. I have a unit on el transporte for my preschoolers and have used the first two Spanish train songs below. The third song is longer and has more vocabulary, but would work well with students who are a little older.

I like the song called El tren se va. It is short and kids can pretend to be the passengers boarding the train. You can add gestures like these to reinforce the meaning of the words. Kids start sitting and stand as they sing the first lines, El tren se va. You can give them paper boletos to pull out when they sing saquen los boletos or they can just pretend. For suban ya we pretend to be climbing stairs and then all sit down again for the final El tren se va.

You can hear this Spanish train song on the video. It is on Sari Cucien’s CD Patatín Patatero and is available to download from Amazon. The lyrics follow the video.

Juan Pablo Valdez sings a very simple song about traveling by plane, truck and finally train. It is called Voy en avión. The song has lots of repetition and verbs to go with each form of transportation. You can download the song from Amazon. For some reason, Amazon has the lyrics labeled as explicit, but they are not. The lyrics follow the video.

This third song about trains is called Saludando al tren. It is longer and has more vocabulary, but it is fun for kids who have a little more Spanish. You can hear the version by Maria Cristina from the CD El Elefante Trompita in this video. This version and several others are available on Amazon. Again, Amazon has the lyrics labeled as explicit, but they are not. The lyrics are on the screen.
